Post by: archangel1 on 05 September 2008, 04:07:22 AM: Very nice work! Love the two officers in the first photo. The third guy certainly looks disgusted about something! The middle figure in the third photo looks like he belongs on the platform of a train station (Where's that damn train!), although not knowing which direction trains run in Russia, he could be just looking for the NAAFI! (Or the bog!)

Post by: Orctrader on 05 September 2008, 09:28:56 AM: Nice :)

How do they fit/look alongside Brigade Games and Copplestone? (I assume Russian WW1 will serve as RCW White Russians?)
Title: Re: WW1 Russians from Musketeer
Post by: Calimero on 05 September 2008, 01:40:09 PM: Great Figures :-* :o :-*… and an army that will be fairly easy to do! lol The Russians don’t have a lot of equipment on them, so they should easily be painted!

P.S: Is someone able to cross post this topic in the WWI – WWII forum? I think it could be a good idea since it cover the Great War period too. ;)

Post by: Lt. Hazel on 05 September 2008, 02:14:52 PM: Nice and full of character..I especially like the ones in greatcoats.
Title: Re: WW1 Russians from Musketeer
Post by: Ignatieff on 05 September 2008, 05:58:13 PM: Wow, superb figures ;D :-*

I am still admiring your IRA figures I had Steve Dean paint up, they were superb.

Oh no, I see another White Army arriving!!!

Post by: WillieB on 06 September 2008, 09:39:50 AM: Figures are great but I particulary like that painting style. Not too flashy, subdued colours, no harsh divisions between tones and very realistic.
Exactly the way I try to do my figures. Love it.
Title: Re: WW1 Russians from Musketeer
Post by: Musketeer on 06 September 2008, 09:50:04 AM: The painting was really easy on these. I just painted the base coats and used the new GW washes on them. I gave the private a few highlights to his uniform and a mix of flesh and dark grey for the chin stubble. Came out great. I may even treat myself to a few once they are done! ;)

Post by: Brigadier Linn on 07 September 2008, 11:14:50 AM: I can see some of these joining my Chinese Warlord Army! I already have the Black and Tans and RIC, and they painted up really well.

Post by: andekmcc on 07 September 2008, 12:44:11 PM: excellent stuff especially looking forward to their austrian opponents ;-)
Title: Re: WW1 Russians from Musketeer
Post by: janner on 07 September 2008, 04:20:23 PM: Great stuff Bill

Hope that you're going to branch out from the usual fayre and other us something different like proper cavalry such as lancers and hussars, foot guards, dismounted cossacks etc.

Regards,

Post by: Ignatieff on 07 September 2008, 07:43:22 PM: Saw the figures today at Partizan, and they look even more splendid in the (lead) flesh. Completely compatible with Copplestone. Well done Bill. At last figures with some character!
Title: Re: WW1 Russians from Musketeer
Post by: sepoy1857 on 19 October 2008, 09:23:11 PM: Thanks Bill! As if there aren't enough figures out there already I need to buy... VERY nice btw ;-D

Title: Re: WW1 Russians from Musketeer
Post by: huevans on 07 July 2009, 12:08:40 AM: Are these compatible with BG?
Title: Re: WW1 Russians from Musketeer
Post by: Lt. Hazel on 07 July 2009, 10:04:32 AM: I think they are. BG in the middle, Muketeer on each flank

Post by: huevans on 07 July 2009, 12:39:44 PM: Thanks for the shot. Yes, they look quite close and even the styles aren't too far off.
